Shared poibters are used while multithreading, imagine that you have a process controller that starts and manages several threads which then run their own processes.

Some workflows might demand that an object is instantiated from the controller and then shared with one or several processes, or one of the processes might create the object and then send it back via callback, which then might get sent to several other processes.

If you do this with a race pointer, you might end in in a race condition of when to free that pointer and you will end up creating some sort of controller or wrapper around the pointer to manage which process is us8ng the object and when is time to free it. That’s a shared pointer, they made the wrapper for you. It manages an internal counter for every instance of the pointer and when that instance goes out of scope the counter goes down, when it reaches zero it gets deleted.

A unique pointer is for when, for whatever reason, you want processes to have exclusive access to the object. You might be interested in having the security that only a single process is interacting with the object because it doesn’t process well being manipulated from several processes at once. With a raw pointer you would need to code a wrapper that ensures ownership of the pointer and ways to transfer it so that you know which process has access to it at every moment.

In the example project I mentioned we used both shared and unique pointers, and that was in the first year of the job where I worked with c++. How was your job for you not to see the point of smart pointers after 7 years? All single threaded programs? Maybe you use some framework that makes the abstractions for you like Qt?

I hope these examples and explanations helped you see valid use cases.

The issue here is that while baseline apple is more secure than baseline android, a user with knowledge or a guide can improve the android security by a lot, whereas the apple baseline is also the ceiling. There’s stuff you can do with iPhones but if you don’t trust apple, you are kind of fucked.

Android people that mention security won’t be using a stock phone from the store, they will have disabled stuff, enables alternative stuff, or even installed a completely new android based OS, and this can’t be done with iPhone or iOS.

I’m with you that you should be able to log out remotely, but this is more of a failure in the IT department. You should have been given a PC with the apple ID already introduced, with your company mail and some password. How would they even access your PC remotely for security udpwtes if they didn’t have access to your appeal id? Right, they didn’t. So they gave a computer they didn’t have remote access to, not properly configured, and then forced you to either move or give private information.

The reason they don’t do multi people and multi year coding projects has nothing to do with repeatability of the experiments, most science coding is done through simple-ish code that uses existing libraries, doesn’t code them. That code is usually stored in notebooks (jupyter, zeppelin) or simple scripts.

For science code, it usually falls in the realm of data analysis, and as a data engineer, let me tell you that the analysis part of the job is usually very ad-hoc modifications of the script and live coding though notebooks and such.

The part where whatever conclusion of the research is then transformed into a functioning application, taking care of naming conventions, the architecture of the system where the input data, the transformations, the postprocessing and such is done, is usually done by another team of dedicated data engineers or software developers.

I guess that it would be helpful for the analysis part to have standardized templates for data extraction and such, but usually the tools used in the research portion of the process and the implementation portion are completely different (python with tensorflow vs C++ with openvino or whatever cloud based) so it’s not really fair to load the architecture design since the beginning.

No idea how CalDav runs, but if it’s a server, it should be able to run generic scripts, no? Once you are running a generic script, writing one that sends emails though smtp should be possible. Idk.

It’s a joke, the OP is implying that the pig that “donated” the heart was a cop.

For decent privacy oriented tool recommendations, here’s a list.

There was some drama about the webpages so I’ll link both to avoid angry users. Anyway, KeePassXC is on there, which it seems like it’s a fork of KeePass, you might want to check it out.

Lmao the docs. That translates to: we have memory leaks but I’m not getting paid for this so deal with it. 😂😂

Great Bot!

I was going to comment this, that’s so cute.

When I sent some measurements to my uncle to make a bed, I sent it in 200cm x 160cm. Not 2m or 20 dm. You know those exchanges because it’s obvious but since people are used to cm for height, it’s useful to compare stuff with yourself and that’s why cm is the most used measurement for craft.

If whatever you are building fits in a hand, measurements will probably come in mm, because idk why but people enjoy 3 digit measurements.

We have actual cheese in europe individually wrapped. It’s a thing.

Then block it? Idk. My android phone doesn’t give any permission until the app explicitly asks it to perform a task, and I can then just say no. The app works just fine.

Server wise they are practically identical, but the AndroidTV app of jellyfin lags behind quite a bit, the media player is bad, it doesn’t handle well changing subtitles, moving the clip forward and backward… Some of these are fixed by using an external video player, but weirdly enough there have been some movie formats that jellyfin couldn’t handle (the TV app) and emby did.

I just wish that the TV app were identical to the android app with remote functionality, but I’m no android dev so I’ll stay put and wait.
